Alabama Power Charitable Giving
Connected to our customers and our communities.
One of Alabama Power's founding principles was that the company be developed for the service of Alabama. This culture of service and good work continues today, more than a century later, as Alabama Power brings more than electricity to the communities it serves.

"Being connected – to our customers, our communities and
each other – is vital to our success."
—Charles McCrary, president and CEO, Alabama Power
